Is the fruit “must” in my balsamic vinegar considered an added sugar?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Hey @elievois - nope! fruit must is basically crushed up fruit, so that is a-ok during the Avoid Added Sugar challenge.
-
elievois @Rachna thank you, you may have just saved my sugarless life!

DietID_TeamDietitians no problemo!! that's what we're here for =)
How do I use a free pass

wendypoole I have no idea. I just check the marks. Haha
I am eating chocolate and crisps to avoid fast food. Now what?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Did you always stop at the same fast food restaurants and around the same time of day? If so, it's great to celebrate the fact that you've changed that habit so far. If you're finding that you're...

shmoozii I was wondering about that too.
“Lactic acid” vs “Lactose” on the list of 56 sugar names - also something to avoid?
-
annefood No, you don’t need to avoid lactic acid in the Avoid Added Sugar Challenge. It’s used in fermentation (yogurt, pickled veggies, sourdough...) and as a preservative or flavoring agent.
-
annefood And lactose is an intrinsic sugar (not an added sugar) that is naturally occurring in dairy. So no need to worry about that either.

ingalls Thanks! I kept looking it up. ;-)
